Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF71 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in East Village
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
